What is the difference between weight and mass?

A: They’re the same

B: They’re the same thing but have different units

C: Weight is a force while mass just exists

wer: C. Everything has a mass (measured in kg) that remains constant anywhere in the universe. On the other hand, weight is a force (measured in newtons) that depends on the acceleration of the mass. Since the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is ⅓ of that on earth, a person would weigh ⅓ as less on Mars. BUT their mass would remain the same.

D: Mass is a type of acceleration
